Great game, i played many times but i cannot beat 12 levels, is really hard but also really fun

Loved it. The later levels are difficult!! I kinda wish there were more bugs involved that just the beetles, but still cool overall.

The "GAME OVER" sound effect caught me off guard, haha.

Thanks for playing and the feedback :) I do plan to add more variety in bugs and weapons based on the feedback received here.

Thanks a lot for playing and the feedback ! I plan to add more guns and enemies to allow for different play styles , and plan to fine tune the spawning locations as well.

I really like the game feel and overall the controls are a very nice base for a full game. I think to make it a full game you would only need a few minimal additions. You could add a boss every once in a while that would reward a new gun or something which could aid in keeping progression feeling fresh and new. And/or you could make the player controller explore a larger multi-roomed environment. This could very quickly turn into a full game.

Thanks a lot for playing and these encouraging words :) A boss fight + more weapons are definitely good additions. The idea of having a larger mutli-roomed environment also seems like a sensible direction to move to introduce much needed variability in play styles and enemies.

Good execution of a simple concept. Many commenters say the next thing to add is variety, but before you do that, make it so enemies don't spawn next to the player.

Thanks for playing and the feedback. I will look into fine tuning spawning in the next iteration :)

Pretty fun shooter game, though I would have appreciated the spawning of enemies/shooting from enemies to a bit more varied. Getting hit by one bullet is ok, but in the later stages, getting hit by 9 or 10 bullets all at the same time takes out a major chunk of HP. Other than what's already said in the comments, this is a fun game.

Thanks for playing ! Yes, I plan on adding more guns and enemy types to have some variety of enemies and encourage different playstyles. Thanks for the suggestion :)

This is a fun game. It's simple obviously, but fun either way. Pretty polished too! Good job.

I'm not one for shooting games, but I liked how you added in the bugs for the theme.

Submitted

GradDev95Developer2 years ago

Thanks for playing !

Fun to play, and reminds me of top-down parts of Super C or Smash TV! The music was driving, and the graphics were good.

As far as feedback, I don't have anything to add other than what's already said in previous comments.

Nice work!

Submitted

GradDev95Developer2 years ago

Thanks for playing ! I was aiming for a Smash TV kind of look :)

Smooth gameplay, neat graphics and punchy soundtrack. Additional enemy types (especially bug-themed) and power ups in later waves will help to improve the longevity

Submitted

GradDev95Developer2 years ago

Thanks for playing and the feedback. I am planning to add a shop system with more weapons and some more bug types for enemies. Maybe a boss fight with a giant bug to top it off :p

oceancucumberSubmitted2 years ago

Cool! Reminds of some of the top down levels in Super C from the old NES.

Submitted

GradDev95Developer2 years ago

Thanks for playing ! I was aiming for exactly old school NES kind of look :)

crlprkSubmitted2 years ago

I was so close to beating the game!

The gameplay in general was really fun but perhaps would benefit from varied shooting times. Or perhaps more variety in enemies.

I really liked the gun SFX, it was so satisfying to shoot!

Overall very well made!

GradDev95Developer2 years ago

Hi, Thanks for playing. With a few more tries, you will definitely beat it :) Nice suggestions about enemies. I am panning to add more weapons (maybe a shop system to buy weapons from points) and new types of enemy bugs.

Got to wave 11 on the first try! I don't know if it was an intended feature, but it really helped that the gunmen fired one shot at the exact same time. Gave me some time to dodge and plan. Solid game that I could play for more than 12 waves if i had some time to kill :)

Submitted

GradDev95Developer2 years ago(+1)

Wave 11 on first try is really impressive ! It took me a few tries to finish this :P The shooting at the same time was a design decision I made to encourage the player to use the crates to hide and plan out attacks. You were spot on in your strategy !
